We are changing,
No one stays the same.
But God does.
He is as Emmanuel now as He was then
Sometimes, I am more more aware of Him
But it doesn’t change the fact that He never leaves.
He is always there, peering into the room and asking to come in
Never forcing open the door even though He could
He is that gentle
My heart knows what my mind tries to deny sometimes,
I need Him.
I need Him more today that I did yesterday
I’ll need Him more tomorrow than I do today.
There’s no point where all that I have tasted will ever be enough
I need Him.
I need Him just as much as I did the first time I acknowledged Him as Saviour,
Maybe even more
Definitely more
There are no oars to rest on
This is not a fishing expedition
This is life, real life
Let me be the one that points others to Jesus
But let that never be the true essence of my life
Let the true essence of my life be;
I have found a love greater than life itself
It’s the love of Jesus
My Saviour and Friend
And let this be enough
More than anything else can ever be.
